Netherlands might revoke their vote. Posted Jun 9, 2004 11:09 UTC (Wed) by dmantione (guest, #4640) [Link] I'm not really at home in the exact procedures of the EU, but what I read it isstill possible to change the vote and parliament is aiming at it.

Posted Jun 9, 2004 18:37 UTC (Wed) by jeroen (subscriber, #12372) [Link] The council position will probably not be adopted before september, the translation is behind schedule because of a shortage of translators, especially for the languages of the newly joined countries. The text has to be translated in every language before it can be adopted.Every country can still change their vote in the council, although as far as we know it has never happened that a previous agreed on issue wasn't officially adopted later. The Dutch vote alone is not enough to do prevent the adoption, but it might set an example for other countries. If for example Germany or Poland change their vote too there isn't a qualified majority anymore. A few of the smaller countries will also do the job.

Posted Jun 10, 2004 7:26 UTC (Thu) by bbencic (guest, #9213) [Link] I have read on the ffii website that Poland wasn't for the directive butas a qualified majority was reached before they could vote, something happened and their vote was considered as 'for the directive' more info on http://kwiki.ffii.org/?Pietras040520En If Netherlands and Poland change their vote this could change everything.
